Bath resealing in Cray's Pond, done in place
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. If you are dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Cray's Pond questions
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How much does bath resealing cost in Cray's Pond?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cray's Pond, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
