- A messy previous reseal
Do you need bath resealing in Dipton?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Bath resealing in Dipton, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Questions from Dipton
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you work in Dipton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Dipton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
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.
