Bath Resealing for Nanpean homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Nanpean, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Bath resealing at your home in Nanpean
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
