Bath resealing at your home in Spittal
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. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Spittal as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Spittal
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Spittal questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover Spittal?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Spittal from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
