Do you need bath resealing in Stony Heap?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A messy previous reseal
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Resealing in Stony Heap: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stony Heap. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
