About our bath resealing in East Barkwith
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LN8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
East Barkwith: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work in East Barkwith?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to East Barkwith and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
