Bath resealing at your home in Hightown Green
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Common questions in Hightown Green
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Do you cover Hightown Green?
We do. We send a technician to Hightown Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
