Bath resealing in Horton without replacing anything
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What else we do in Horton
When to call us in Horton
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
Why it’s worth resealing in Horton
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Questions from Horton
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you come to Horton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Horton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
