Bath resealing in New Silksworth, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

FAQs for New Silksworth
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
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.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When to call us in New Silksworth
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Unsealed corners
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, 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.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in New Silksworth
- Basins & vanity units

- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
