About our bath resealing in Potterne Wick
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and missing sealant behind the taps.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Potterne Wick: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
What we are called out for in Potterne Wick
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
Landlords, agents and businesses in Potterne Wick
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
