Bath resealing at your home in Stone Street
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with stained silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we’re called out for in Stone Street
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal

FAQs for Stone Street
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Why it’s worth resealing in Stone Street
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. 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.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, 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.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP19 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
