Bath resealing in Lower Bockhampton without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Questions from Lower Bockhampton
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Lower Bockhampton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Signs you need bath resealing in Lower Bockhampton
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
