Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath or shower

What we’re called out for in Lea by Backford
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
