Bath Resealing for Elmstone homes
Bath resealing for Elmstone, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Bath resealing at your home in Elmstone
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and discoloured, yellow sealant, on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- 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.
What we work on
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
What we are called out for in Elmstone
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Elmstone: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
