About our bath resealing in Prees Higher Heath
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re often asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Prees Higher Heath?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

What else we do in Prees Higher Heath
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
