About our bath resealing in Birkenshaw
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and leaks at the edges, we can normally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Birkenshaw and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What else we do in Birkenshaw
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

When to call us in Birkenshaw
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Look out for these signs:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
