Do you need bath resealing in Scampton?
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Scampton. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Scampton questions
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
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.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
