About our bath resealing in Church Hougham
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and unsealed corners, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Church Hougham
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Common problems we fix in Church Hougham
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. 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.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- 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
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
