Bath resealing in Northbourne, 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. We’re often asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What affects the price in Northbourne
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
FAQs for Northbourne
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
If you manage property in Northbourne, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Why it’s worth resealing in Northbourne
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
