About our bath resealing in Forest Side
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common problems we fix in Forest Side
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Forest Side questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are there extra charges for Forest Side?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What we do, step by step

- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
