Bath resealing in Cranhill, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Do you need bath resealing in Cranhill?
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Cranhill
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Cranhill. Our prices are the same everywhere.
