Bath resealing at your home in Norcot
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal, across baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Norcot
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Norcot use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Why it’s worth resealing in Norcot
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One-year guarantee on every repair
See our prices page.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Common problems we fix in Norcot
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Will there be a smell?

Can pets and children be at home?
