Bath resealing at your home in Bickerton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are often asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SY14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Why it’s worth resealing in Bickerton
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Bickerton questions
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
