Bath resealing in Donnington without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Do you come to Donnington?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What affects the price in Donnington
There’s no area surcharge for Donnington. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we are called out for in Donnington
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Mould you cannot clean out

- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
