Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Upper Bruntingthorpe
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays

Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Your questions about bath resealing in Upper Bruntingthorpe
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover Upper Bruntingthorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Upper Bruntingthorpe and the rest of Leicestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
