About our bath resealing in Callerton
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. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and discoloured, yellow sealant, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
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.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Callerton questions

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Signs you need bath resealing in Callerton
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Look out for these signs:
