- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price

Bath resealing in Great Stretton without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s damp near the bath and an untidy old seal, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
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.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
