Bath resealing at your home in Monton
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common problems we fix in Monton
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What affects the price in Monton
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Monton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
FAQs for Monton
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
