Baths

Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
About our bath resealing in Abbotskerswell
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Abbotskerswell, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abbotskerswell use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Abbotskerswell. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Abbotskerswell
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Are there extra charges for Abbotskerswell?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
