Bath resealing in South Scousburgh, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and silicone coming away from the tiles.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Advice
Also in South Scousburgh
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
