Bath resealing in Southcote, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray, across baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Southcote and across Central Bedfordshire.

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What else we do in Southcote
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A fixed quote before booking
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Questions from Southcote
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you come to Southcote?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Southcote. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What affects the price in Southcote
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Signs you need bath resealing in Southcote
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
