Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for householders, landlords and businesses in Down End. Send pictures for a free, fixed quote.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
- Black spots in the silicone
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Bath resealing at your home in Down End
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Why reseal now?
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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Down End questions
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
