About our bath resealing in Morningside
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and mould you can’t clean out.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about bath resealing in Morningside
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Morningside. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
There are no surprise 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
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Landlord and trade work in Morningside
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we’re called out for in Morningside
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
