About our bath resealing in Caxton
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Common questions in Caxton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you work in Caxton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Caxton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Signs you need bath resealing in Caxton
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- How to look after the finish
What else we do in Caxton
Resealing in Caxton: why it matters
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
