Bath resealing in Boxgrove without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Boxgrove
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Look out for these signs:
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Boxgrove
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
