Bath resealing at your home in West Burton
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and mould you can’t clean out, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in West Burton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For anyone letting property in or around West Burton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day.

- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.

Questions from West Burton
Can you quote from pictures?

Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?
We cover the whole UK, including West Burton and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
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.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.

- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
