Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Newton Ketton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newton Ketton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about bath resealing in Newton Ketton
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Newton Ketton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What we’re called out for in Newton Ketton
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
