About our bath resealing in Simm's Lane End
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Simm's Lane End use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When to call us in Simm's Lane End
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
