Bath resealing at your home in Thurvaston
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about bath resealing in Thurvaston
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
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’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we’re called out for in Thurvaston
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Look out for any of the following:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
