Bath resealing in South Pelaw without replacing anything
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. We’re often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from South Pelaw
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
