Bath resealing at your home in Butterwick
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. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and sealant that’s split or lifting, on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Butterwick as everywhere else we work.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What else we do in Butterwick
Questions from Butterwick
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Butterwick?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Butterwick from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Do you need bath resealing in Butterwick?
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
