Bath resealing in Cresswell without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, 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.

Your questions about bath resealing in Cresswell
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Cresswell?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Common problems we fix in Cresswell
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Cresswell contact us are:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Why it’s worth resealing in Cresswell
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
