How we handle bath resealing in Ore
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ore and across East Sussex.

- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Common questions in Ore
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Resealing in Ore: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
