Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

About our bath resealing in Rough Knarr
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
FAQs for Rough Knarr
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Oldham. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Do you come to Rough Knarr?
We do. We send a technician to Rough Knarr for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
