Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried 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, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Firth
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Resealing in Firth: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Your questions about bath resealing in Firth
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
