Bath resealing in Worlingham, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
