Bath resealing in Perkinsville, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Perkinsville: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DH2 postcode.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Perkinsville. Prices don’t change with location.
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Perkinsville
For anyone letting property in or around Perkinsville, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, 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.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What else we do in Perkinsville
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
