Bath resealing in Exton, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
When to call us in Exton
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Questions from Exton
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Exton?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Exton and the rest of Rutland. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Exton. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Landlord and trade work in Exton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Exton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. 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.
