Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
Signs you need bath resealing in Hargrave
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
