Bath resealing at your home in Fothergill
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fothergill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about bath resealing in Fothergill
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Are there extra charges for Fothergill?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
