About our bath resealing in Michaelston-le-Pit and Leckwith
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and discoloured, yellow sealant.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Michaelston-le-Pit and Leckwith questions
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
