Bath resealing at your home in Summerhouse
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Why it’s worth resealing in Summerhouse
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we’re called out for in Summerhouse
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners

What else we do in Summerhouse
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
FAQs for Summerhouse

What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
