Resealing in Pakenham: why it matters
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP31 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
