About our bath resealing in Horncastle
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What affects the price in Horncastle
There’s no charge for travel to Horncastle. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Horncastle
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
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. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What we are called out for in Horncastle
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected

Horncastle questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
