About our bath resealing in Daventry
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. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Daventry
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Common questions in Daventry
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you come to Daventry?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Daventry for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long will it take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 else we do in Daventry
What affects the price in Daventry
We charge the same across the UK, including Daventry. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
