How we handle bath resealing in Horton Green
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. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Horton Green and across Cheshire West and Chester.

What else we do in Horton Green
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
Common problems we fix in Horton Green
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Common questions in Horton Green
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Horton Green
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Horton Green. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have 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 let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
