- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What else we do in Locksbottom
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
