Bath resealing in Short Heath, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal, we can help, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Resealing in Short Heath: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Short Heath. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DE12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
