About our bath resealing in Grimeston
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and damp near the bath, across wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we’re called out for in Grimeston
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grimeston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Why it’s worth resealing in Grimeston
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Air the room after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
