How we handle bath resealing in Grove

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and stained silicone.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What happens on the day

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. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Grove: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
