How we handle bath resealing in Highnam
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Why it’s worth resealing in Highnam
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Common problems we fix in Highnam
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Common reasons people in Highnam contact us are:
- An untidy old seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
