Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
How we handle bath resealing in Borrowby
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Borrowby
What we are called out for in Borrowby
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Your questions about bath resealing in Borrowby
Are there extra charges for Borrowby?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
