Bath resealing in Dallington without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Dallington and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common problems we fix in Dallington
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you cannot clean out

Your questions about bath resealing in Dallington
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TN21 postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Why it’s worth resealing in Dallington
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Dallington
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
