Bath resealing in Vickerstown, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and black spots in the silicone.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean 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.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Questions from Vickerstown
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Vickerstown?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Vickerstown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
