What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why it’s worth resealing in High Crompton
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in High Crompton
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Crompton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
