About our bath resealing in Mountsett
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
Read our prices page.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Questions from Mountsett
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What we are called out for in Mountsett
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Mountsett
There is no charge for travel to Mountsett. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
For a price in Mountsett, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
