Common problems we fix in Blacksmith's Corner
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An untidy old seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Bath resealing in Blacksmith's Corner without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and mould you can’t clean out.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Blacksmith's Corner questions
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. 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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
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 quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
