How we handle bath resealing in Potter's Green

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Potter's Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Signs you need bath resealing in Potter's Green

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Your questions about bath resealing in Potter's Green

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long will it take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
