How we handle bath resealing in Firth Moor
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Firth Moor
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Common questions in Firth Moor
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Firth Moor?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What else we do in Firth Moor
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
DIY kit or professional 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
