About our bath resealing in Well Street
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can normally put it right, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- 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, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Well Street: your questions answered
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How long does a reseal take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
