Bath resealing in Skeffington, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with gaps by the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Skeffington
For anyone letting property in or around Skeffington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Common questions in Skeffington
How much does bath resealing cost in Skeffington?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE7 postcode.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Why it’s worth resealing in Skeffington
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
