Bath resealing in Budock Water, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and black spots in the silicone.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Budock Water
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
