Bath resealing in Burdon without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re often asked to fix gaps in the seal and leaks at the edges, in baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Burdon as everywhere else we work.

Your questions about bath resealing in Burdon
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Burdon.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What we are called out for in Burdon
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in Burdon contact us include:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Why it’s worth resealing in Burdon
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No extra charge for your area
- Everything repaired in place

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Burdon. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SR3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
