How we handle bath resealing in Poolstock
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Resealing in Poolstock: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What else we do in Poolstock
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common problems we fix in Poolstock
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Poolstock
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poolstock use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
