Do you need bath resealing in Outwood?
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Outwood questions
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you cover Outwood?
We do. We send a technician to Outwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
