Bath resealing in New Rayne, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
When to call us in New Rayne
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone

New Rayne: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in New Rayne.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for New Rayne. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
