About our bath resealing in Eighton Banks
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Eighton Banks questions
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Eighton Banks?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Eighton Banks
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
