How we handle bath resealing in Drellingore
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and missing sealant behind the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Landlord and trade work in Drellingore
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Signs you need bath resealing in Drellingore
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone

Drellingore questions
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
