Bath resealing in Horsley Woodhouse without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Common questions in Horsley Woodhouse

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you come to Horsley Woodhouse?

We do. We send a technician to Horsley Woodhouse for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What affects the price in Horsley Woodhouse

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
