Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about bath resealing in High Westwood
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Do you cover High Westwood?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to High Westwood. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
