How we handle bath resealing in Walstead
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and old sealant that looks dirty, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Walstead. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
If you are in Walstead and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
