Bath resealing in Little France, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
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.

How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
