Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
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.
Bath resealing at your home in Leighterton
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Resealing in Leighterton: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Leighterton
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What else we do in Leighterton
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Leighterton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
Do you need bath resealing in Leighterton?
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
