How we handle bath resealing in Harome
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Harome questions
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
When to call us in Harome
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for these signs:
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Harome. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
