Bath Resealing in Longriggend
Our technicians come to Longriggend for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
- An untidy old seal
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle bath resealing in Longriggend
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we are called out for in Longriggend
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Longriggend questions
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Longriggend. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
For a price in Longriggend, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
