What we are called out for in Parkengear
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Resealing in Parkengear: why it matters

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Parkengear questions
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
