Bath resealing in Steeple without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone, across baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Resealing in Steeple: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Steeple
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Steeple
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Steeple, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- How to look after the finish

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Steeple
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The material
The price 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
