Bath Resealing in High Dyke
Bath resealing across High Dyke and nearby, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage

Bath resealing in High Dyke without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from High Dyke
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in High Dyke?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in High Dyke
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When to call us in High Dyke
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in High Dyke contact us are:
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
