About our bath resealing in Bitteswell
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
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.

Questions from Bitteswell
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you cover Bitteswell?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Bitteswell. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Signs you need bath resealing in Bitteswell
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Bitteswell. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Why it’s worth resealing in Bitteswell
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
