Do you need bath resealing in Neville's Cross?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
- An untidy old seal

Bath resealing in Neville's Cross, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in Neville's Cross
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you come to Neville's Cross?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Neville's Cross from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How much does bath resealing cost in Neville's Cross?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with 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, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Resealing in Neville's Cross: why it matters

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
