About our bath resealing in Clovenstone
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s stained silicone and a messy previous reseal, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common problems we fix in Clovenstone
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Look out for these signs:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Damp near the bath

The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
