Bath resealing in Tycroes without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Common questions in Tycroes
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Do you need bath resealing in Tycroes?
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered

What else we do in Tycroes
What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Tycroes. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tycroes. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
