Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Bath resealing in Stock without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Stock, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stock
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Stock: your questions answered
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
