What we are called out for in Tapnage
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps by the taps

How we handle bath resealing in Tapnage
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and missing sealant behind the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
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; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Questions from Tapnage
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Landlord and trade work in Tapnage
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
