About our bath resealing in Bulmer Tye
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Your questions about bath resealing in Bulmer Tye
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Are there extra charges for Bulmer Tye?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bulmer Tye
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Bulmer Tye
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
