Your questions about bath resealing in Long Duckmanton
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Bath resealing in Long Duckmanton without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
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.
When to call us in Long Duckmanton
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
Why it’s worth resealing in Long Duckmanton
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
