Need bath resealing in Laughton?

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

About our bath resealing in Laughton

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners, we can normally put it right, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Laughton and across Leicestershire.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we’re called out for in Laughton

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Laughton

How long will it take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
