Why it’s worth resealing in Overton
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Bath resealing in Overton without replacing anything
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 a new seal stops it. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and stained silicone, we can usually put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
