How we handle bath resealing in St John Street area
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out, we can generally put it right.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
