About our bath resealing in Toller Porcorum
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 basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

What else we do in Toller Porcorum
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Your questions about bath resealing in Toller Porcorum
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are there extra charges for Toller Porcorum?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Signs you need bath resealing in Toller Porcorum
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
