Bath Resealing for Bruntingthorpe homes
Bath resealing across Bruntingthorpe and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we handle bath resealing in Bruntingthorpe
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 are frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and an untidy old seal, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Bruntingthorpe
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Landlord and trade work in Bruntingthorpe
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
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
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Bruntingthorpe
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
