About our bath resealing in Prestwood
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Prestwood and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Prestwood
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Prestwood use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can

Advice

What else we do in Prestwood
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common questions in Prestwood
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
