Bath resealing in Stubb's Cross without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stubb's Cross
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When to call us in Stubb's Cross
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Unsealed corners
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stubb's Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Stubb's Cross: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
