Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Do you need bath resealing in St Helen Auckland?
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
- An untidy old seal
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Your questions about bath resealing in St Helen Auckland
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
