Bath resealing in Goodrich Cross, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Goodrich Cross questions

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Goodrich Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Our hiring checklist

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
