DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we handle bath resealing in Borestone
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. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and black mould in the sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Do you need bath resealing in Borestone?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Borestone contact us include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Landlord and trade work in Borestone
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Borestone use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
FAQs for Borestone
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How much does bath resealing cost in Borestone?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What affects the price in Borestone
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
