Bath resealing in Stockland, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Other services in Stockland
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
FAQs for Stockland
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you cover Stockland?
We do. We send a technician to Stockland for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Why it’s worth resealing in Stockland
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Stockland
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
