Bath resealing in D'Arcy without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed quote from your pictures, then book a visit.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

D'Arcy questions
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Do you need bath resealing in D'Arcy?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Landlord and trade work in D'Arcy
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
