About our bath resealing in Delves Lane
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and a messy previous reseal, on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Delves Lane
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Why it’s worth resealing in Delves Lane
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
