- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why Burraton customers choose us
- No need to remove anything
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Bath resealing in Burraton without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Burraton as everywhere else we work.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Do you need bath resealing in Burraton?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price

Your questions about bath resealing in Burraton
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Burraton?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Do you work in Burraton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Burraton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
