How we handle bath resealing in Upper Eddington
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When to call us in Upper Eddington
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
- An untidy old seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps

What else we do in Upper Eddington
Landlord and trade work in Upper Eddington
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair

Your questions about bath resealing in Upper Eddington
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How much does bath resealing cost in Upper Eddington?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
