Your questions about bath resealing in Middlestone
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why it’s worth resealing in Middlestone

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Middlestone
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
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, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
