- A picture taken from further back

Bath resealing in Carnsmerry without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth resealing in Carnsmerry
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

FAQs for Carnsmerry
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Carnsmerry?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL26 postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Carnsmerry.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath resealing in Carnsmerry?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
