Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

About our bath resealing in Michaelston-super-Ely
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath resealing in Michaelston-super-Ely
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Are there extra charges for Michaelston-super-Ely?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Michaelston-super-Ely use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we are called out for in Michaelston-super-Ely
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Common reasons people in Michaelston-super-Ely contact us are:
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
