Bath resealing in Sorbie, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
FAQs for Sorbie
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How much does bath resealing cost in Sorbie?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we are called out for in Sorbie
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Stained silicone
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
