Bath resealing at your home in Boyton
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Boyton as everywhere else we work.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boyton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common questions in Boyton
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Boyton?
We do. We send a technician to Boyton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
When to call us in Boyton
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish
- When it can be used again
