How we handle bath resealing in Featherstone
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
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 usually cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Featherstone
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How much does bath resealing cost in Featherstone?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Featherstone included. Travel is included in the price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Featherstone
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When to call us in Featherstone
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day

- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
