About our bath resealing in Stanley Common
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Stanley Common
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

When to call us in Stanley Common
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- 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.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Your questions about bath resealing in Stanley Common
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
