Bath Resealing in Crumbles
Our repair technicians come to Crumbles for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
Bath resealing in Crumbles without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

How we price bath resealing
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need bath resealing in Crumbles
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Crumbles
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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
