About our bath resealing in Silver Hill
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and damp near the bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Silver Hill
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Landlord and trade work in Silver Hill
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Questions from Silver Hill
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
