About our bath resealing in East Stour
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
East Stour: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to East Stour?
We do. Technicians travel to East Stour from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What we’re called out for in East Stour
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
