Bath resealing at your home in Braithwaite
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Questions from Braithwaite
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Why it’s worth resealing in Braithwaite
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Braithwaite. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Signs you need bath resealing in Braithwaite
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
