Bath resealing in Ingrow without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, then we come to you.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle bath resealing in Ingrow
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Ingrow
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Common problems we fix in Ingrow
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
