Bath resealing at your home in Sholing
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal, we can help, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Common problems we fix in Sholing
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- 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 is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
