- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Bath resealing in Horninglow, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We are frequently asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

Horninglow questions
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Horninglow and the rest of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Resealing in Horninglow: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
