Bath resealing in Starbotton without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What we are called out for in Starbotton
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why Starbotton clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Same prices wherever you are
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
