Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Bath resealing at your home in Slaugham
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and mould you can’t clean out, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
