Bath resealing at your home in Parkfield
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and silicone coming away from the tiles, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
FAQs for Parkfield
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Parkfield included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath resealing in Parkfield
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
