Trusted bath resealing in Pickletillum

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

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. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

When to call us in Pickletillum

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal

Comparing quotes

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
