Bath Resealing in Direcleit
Local bath resealing for Direcleit: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Direcleit
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Related advice
When to call us in Direcleit
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Can I fix it myself?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Questions from Direcleit
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
