How we handle bath resealing in Unthank
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

More services for Unthank
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
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.
Unthank questions
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
