FAQs for Blackness
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
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.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
How much does bath resealing cost in Blackness?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Bath resealing in Blackness without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Blackness
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Blackness and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
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 are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
