Bath resealing at your home in Old Eldon
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and damp near the bath, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth resealing in Old Eldon
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Old Eldon questions
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
