What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Bath resealing at your home in Boswall
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 a new seal stops it. We’re often asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath resealing in Boswall
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Your questions about bath resealing in Boswall
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Are there extra charges for Boswall?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Resealing in Boswall: why it matters
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, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
