How we handle bath resealing in Skelbrooke
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and damp near the bath.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Doncaster.

FAQs for Skelbrooke
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Common problems we fix in Skelbrooke
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
