Bath resealing at your home in Steel Cross
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are damp near the bath and silicone coming away from the tiles.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Common questions in Steel Cross
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How much does bath resealing cost in Steel Cross?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
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.
What we are called out for in Steel Cross
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
Landlords, agents and businesses in Steel Cross
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
