Advice
How we handle bath resealing in Steinis
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we are called out for in Steinis
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure

Your questions about bath resealing in Steinis
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Steinis?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Steinis as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: 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.
