Why it’s worth resealing in Mackney
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Bath resealing in Mackney without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
