DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath resealing at your home in Tan Hills
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about stained silicone and unsealed corners.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we are called out for in Tan Hills
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

- Whether a trained technician does the job
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Resealing in Tan Hills: why it matters
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
