About our bath resealing in Ornsby Hill
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and unsealed corners, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Ornsby Hill
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
When to call us in Ornsby Hill
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- An untidy old seal
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Questions from Ornsby Hill
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DH7 postcode.
Do you work in Ornsby Hill?
We do. We send a technician to Ornsby Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
