Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Old Cantley, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.

- Black spots in the silicone

How we handle bath resealing in Old Cantley
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. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Old Cantley
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Unsealed corners

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What else we do in Old Cantley
Resealing in Old Cantley: why it matters
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
