Do you need bath resealing in Horton?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why it’s worth resealing in Horton
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Horton: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Are there extra charges for Horton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Horton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
