Bath resealing at your home in Rathven
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Rathven
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Rathven
There’s no charge for travel to Rathven. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
