Bath resealing in Cark, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and stained silicone.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cark use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Cark questions
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to Cark?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Cark from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you need bath resealing in Cark?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
