Bath resealing in Stenhouse, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We are often asked to fix black spots in the silicone and stained silicone, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What affects the price in Stenhouse
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stenhouse. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Why it’s worth resealing in Stenhouse
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Stenhouse
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish

FAQs for Stenhouse
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
