Bath resealing at your home in Childerley Gate
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. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are gaps by the taps and a messy previous reseal.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common problems we fix in Childerley Gate
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
