Bath resealing in Strettington without replacing anything
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Strettington
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that is split or lifting

Resealing in Strettington: why it matters
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How we price bath resealing

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
