About our bath resealing in Emery Down
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What affects the price in Emery Down
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common questions in Emery Down
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do you come to Emery Down?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Emery Down from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- A fixed quote before you book
- Same prices wherever you are

Common problems we fix in Emery Down
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Common reasons people in Emery Down contact us include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps

When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
