Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Questions from Kirkbampton
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What we’re called out for in Kirkbampton
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Common reasons people in Kirkbampton contact us include:
- An untidy old seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
