About our bath resealing in Middle Hulton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Middle Hulton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we are called out for in Middle Hulton
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Common questions in Middle Hulton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Middle Hulton. Prices do not change with location.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Resealing in Middle Hulton: why it matters
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
