Bath resealing in Common Side without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What else we do in Common Side
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Common Side: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
