- Old sealant and residue are removed.

- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Bath resealing at your home in Dartmouth
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, across wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
What we’re called out for in Dartmouth
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

FAQs for Dartmouth
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
