Bath resealing across Faenor and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
How we handle bath resealing in Faenor
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal, we can normally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Faenor
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Faenor. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
