Bath resealing in Sawley, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Resealing in Sawley: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Your questions about bath resealing in Sawley
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
