Bath Resealing in West Sleekburn
We travel to West Sleekburn for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps in the seal
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing at your home in West Sleekburn
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with 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 are dealing with black mould in the sealant and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
