Bath resealing in Badbury without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we are called out for in Badbury
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice

What else we do in Badbury
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
