Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lower Slackstead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Lower Slackstead
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is

- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
