About our bath resealing in St Giles on the Heath
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in St Giles on the Heath
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from St Giles on the Heath
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for St Giles on the Heath?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in St Giles on the Heath?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
