Bath resealing at your home in Blackhall Colliery
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal, we can help, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Blackhall Colliery: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Blackhall Colliery
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:
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
- An untidy old seal

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs 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 there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Resealing in Blackhall Colliery: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A fixed quote before booking
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Typically one visit, start to finish
