Bath resealing at your home in Stores Corner
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Signs you need bath resealing in Stores Corner
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Baths

Your questions about bath resealing in Stores Corner
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
