Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CO6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Great Horkesley. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
