- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you cannot clean out
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing at your home in Freston
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint 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
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
