Bath resealing in Bicker Gauntlet without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Bicker Gauntlet
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
