What we do, step by step

- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Bath resealing in Driby Top without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Driby Top questions
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’re 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.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Driby Top. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in Driby Top
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
