Bath resealing at your home in Rushton
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and leaks at the edges, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Do you need bath resealing in Rushton?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Rushton contact us include:
- Damp near the bath
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Your questions about bath resealing in Rushton
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Rushton and the rest of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
