About our bath resealing in Horsley
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, we can typically put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Horsley questions
Do you cover Horsley?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Horsley. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Why it’s worth resealing in Horsley
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Horsley, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
