Bath resealing in Littlebourne, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When to call us in Littlebourne
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

FAQs for Littlebourne
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How we price bath resealing
There’s no area surcharge for Littlebourne. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
