Bath Resealing for The Scarr homes
Our technicians come to The Scarr for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to The Scarr. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in The Scarr and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How we handle bath resealing in The Scarr
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners.
Every job is backed for twelve months in The Scarr and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in The Scarr
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Do not 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.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

The Scarr: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Why reseal now?
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. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
