Bath resealing at your home in Cainscross
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Resealing in Cainscross: why it matters
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Cainscross questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover Cainscross?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cainscross from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
