Bath resealing at your home in High Orchard
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and silicone smeared on tiles, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When to call us in High Orchard
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in High Orchard
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common questions in High Orchard
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Why it’s worth resealing in High Orchard
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
