Bath resealing at your home in Poverest
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Why it’s worth resealing in Poverest

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

FAQs for Poverest
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What affects the price in Poverest
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Poverest. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poverest as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
