Bath resealing at your home in Russell Hill
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, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal 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.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Russell Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When to call us in Russell Hill
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to look after the finish

FAQs for Russell Hill
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
