How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Resealing in Houndscroft: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
