Bath resealing in Stoke Trister without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage

When to call us in Stoke Trister
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’re asked about most:
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Before you book anyone

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Questions from Stoke Trister
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Stoke Trister?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Why it’s worth resealing in Stoke Trister
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
