- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Common questions in Middleton
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Middleton?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What affects the price in Middleton
There is no charge for travel to Middleton. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What else we do in Middleton
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Signs you need bath resealing in Middleton
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
