Bath resealing in Carr Hill without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why it’s worth resealing in Carr Hill
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it 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.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What else we do in Carr Hill
What affects the price in Carr Hill
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How long does silicone take to cure?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
