Bath Resealing in Tongue End
Our technicians come to Tongue End for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath resealing at your home in Tongue End
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and stained silicone, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Tongue End questions
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we are called out for in Tongue End
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tongue End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
