About our bath resealing in Southborough
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
