About our bath resealing in Catton
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and stained silicone, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why it’s worth resealing in Catton
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage

Common problems we fix in Catton
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Common reasons people in Catton contact us include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- 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 apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What else we do in Catton
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Catton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Catton. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common questions in Catton
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
