Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Common problems we fix in Mountcastle
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
Read our pricing.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
