Bath resealing in Cackle Street, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty, we can usually put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Resealing in Cackle Street: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Cackle Street
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
