Bath resealing at your home in Sleapshyde
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can normally put it right.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

Common questions in Sleapshyde
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover Sleapshyde?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sleapshyde for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What else we do in Sleapshyde
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we’re called out for in Sleapshyde
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
