About our bath resealing in Burcott
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 resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and damp near the bath, in wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Your questions about bath resealing in Burcott
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you come to Burcott?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Burcott and the rest of Central Bedfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Burcott. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Signs you need bath resealing in Burcott
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price
