- Unsealed corners
Bath resealing at your home in Worthy Down
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Can I fix it myself?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Your questions about bath resealing in Worthy Down
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Signs you need bath resealing in Worthy Down
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, 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.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
