Bath resealing in Robin Hood without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

- Basins & vanity units

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Common questions in Robin Hood
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Robin Hood?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Robin Hood get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Common problems we fix in Robin Hood
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Resealing in Robin Hood: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
