Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Why it’s worth resealing in Little Houghton
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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A fixed quote before booking

Signs you need bath resealing in Little Houghton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Common reasons people in Little Houghton contact us are:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Common questions in Little Houghton
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
