Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we handle bath resealing in Inkpen Common
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Inkpen Common use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What do you need from me?

Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

DIY kit or professional repair?
