Bath resealing in Houghton without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Houghton
Are there extra charges for Houghton?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

- Silicone smeared on tiles

- Black mould in the sealant

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Advice
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
