Your questions about bath resealing in Southhouse
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Southhouse?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How we handle bath resealing in Southhouse
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Do you need bath resealing in Southhouse?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Look out for these signs:
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps by the taps

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
