Bath resealing in Appledore, done in place
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common problems we fix in Appledore
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions from Appledore
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you come to Appledore?
We do. We send a technician to Appledore for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit

- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Appledore
We charge the same across the UK, including Appledore. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
