Bath resealing near King's Tamerton

Bath resealing in King's Tamerton without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and stained silicone.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

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, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

King's Tamerton questions

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, 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 it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
