Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Bath resealing in Horton, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and damp near the bath.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What we’re called out for in Horton
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

What affects the price in Horton
There is no area surcharge for Horton. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
