Bath resealing in Palgrave without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with damp near the bath and silicone smeared on tiles, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any 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, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
