Bath resealing at your home in Carrington
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Carrington
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Common problems we fix in Carrington
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
- Mould you can’t clean out
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
