The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant

How we handle bath resealing in Downton
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Downton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Downton
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Resealing in Downton: why it matters
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Downton

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
