FAQs for Norton
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover Norton?
We do. We send a technician to Norton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Signs you need bath resealing in Norton
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to look after the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.

Preparing for the visit
