Bath resealing in Lane End without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone

- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
What bath resealing costs
There’s no area surcharge for Lane End. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly 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. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Do you need bath resealing in Lane End?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site

Resealing in Lane End: why it matters
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. 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.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are 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.
