Your questions about bath resealing in Robin Hood
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Bath resealing in Robin Hood, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles, in baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Signs you need bath resealing in Robin Hood
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges

Landlord and trade work in Robin Hood
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
