Bath resealing in Allensford without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are damp near the bath and gaps by the taps.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
