- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Street End: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CT4 postcode.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Street End. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
