Bath resealing in Follingsby, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal, in baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Questions from Follingsby
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Do you work in Follingsby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Follingsby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Common problems we fix in Follingsby
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Black spots in the silicone
