How we handle bath resealing in Downs
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and discoloured, yellow sealant, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Downs, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Questions from Downs
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
