How we handle bath resealing in Ilketshall St Andrew
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, across baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
