Bath resealing at your home in Stretton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from Stretton
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
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. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Common problems we fix in Stretton
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included

What affects the price in Stretton
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Why it’s worth resealing in Stretton
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Work done at your home or business
See our pricing.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
