Bath resealing at your home in Clough Dene
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Questions from Clough Dene
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Clough Dene?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work in Clough Dene?
We do. We send a technician to Clough Dene for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clough Dene use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
