Bath resealing at your home in Rook End
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What else we do in Rook End
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Rook End
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Rook End questions
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Do you come to Rook End?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Rook End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Rook End
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
Comparing quotes
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
