About our bath resealing in Ruyton-XI-Towns
We cut out all of the old sealant, 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. Our technicians work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about mould you can’t clean out and silicone smeared on tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Ruyton-XI-Towns
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Questions from Ruyton-XI-Towns
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Ruyton-XI-Towns. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
