Bath resealing at your home in South Alkham
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for South Alkham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in South Alkham, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When to call us in South Alkham
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you can’t clean out
Before you book anyone
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Questions from South Alkham
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
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.
