Bath resealing in Ecton, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We are often asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath, across baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ecton as everywhere else we work.

Your questions about bath resealing in Ecton
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you work in Ecton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ecton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Resealing in Ecton: why it matters
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What we’re called out for in Ecton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
