How we handle bath resealing in Cruckton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can normally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Signs you need bath resealing in Cruckton
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you can’t clean out

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.

What else we do in Cruckton
Landlord and trade work in Cruckton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 pictures.
What bath resealing costs
There’s no charge for travel to Cruckton. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you work in Cruckton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cruckton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
