Bath resealing in Morebattle, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant, we can help, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Morebattle as everywhere else we work.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Morebattle use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Morebattle
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What we are called out for in Morebattle
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Unsealed corners
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your pictures
