How we handle bath resealing in St Matthew's
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in St Matthew's and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
