Bath Resealing for Saltby homes
Our repair technicians come to Saltby for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone
How we handle bath resealing in Saltby
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Your questions about bath resealing in Saltby
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How much does bath resealing cost in Saltby?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Resealing in Saltby: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Saltby. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Saltby as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What else we do in Saltby
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When to call us in Saltby
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Saltby contact us are:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
