We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and water getting behind the bath or tray.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Why it’s worth resealing in Sproughton
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
