Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Bath resealing in Elburton, done in place
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and leaks at the edges, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms alike.

Why it’s worth resealing in Elburton
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Do you need bath resealing in Elburton?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
