Your questions about bath resealing in Pound Green
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
When to call us in Pound Green
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
- Unsealed corners
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What affects the price in Pound Green
We charge the same across the UK, including Pound Green. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Pound Green
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Why it’s worth resealing in Pound Green
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
