How we handle bath resealing in Crosby Garrett
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include stained silicone and damp near the bath, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Common problems we fix in Crosby Garrett
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Black mould in the sealant

- Damp near the bath

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

FAQs for Crosby Garrett
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
