About our bath resealing in Butler's Cross
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Questions from Butler's Cross
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
