Bath resealing at your home in Summerseat
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Summerseat: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
