Bath resealing at your home in Lexden
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s unsealed corners and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run 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.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Lexden
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
