How we handle bath resealing in Grindley Brook
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s stained silicone and leaks at the edges, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most clients in Grindley Brook get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Your questions about bath resealing in Grindley Brook
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Do you come to Grindley Brook?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Grindley Brook for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you need bath resealing in Grindley Brook?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
