How we handle bath resealing in Middleton Cheney
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix gaps in the seal and silicone smeared on tiles, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Middleton Cheney
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Middleton Cheney and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why it’s worth resealing in Middleton Cheney
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs you need bath resealing in Middleton Cheney
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Middleton Cheney questions
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
