Bath Resealing for Plumbland homes

- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Bath resealing in Plumbland, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath

- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Common problems we fix in Plumbland
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Will it make a mess?
