Bath resealing in Roos, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and silicone coming away from the tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common problems we fix in Roos
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant

What else we do in Roos
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Resealing in Roos: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Roos. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Roos. What changes the price is:

How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Roos, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Roos
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Roos is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
