About our bath resealing in Deadman's Cross
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Deadman's Cross
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What else we do in Deadman's Cross
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Resealing in Deadman's Cross: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Deadman's Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Deadman's Cross
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
