How we handle bath resealing in Murcott
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we are called out for in Murcott
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in Murcott
There’s no area surcharge for Murcott. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote

Resealing in Murcott: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
