How we handle bath resealing in Carnhot
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Landlord and trade work in Carnhot
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- A fixed quote before you book
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Signs you need bath resealing in Carnhot
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
