What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What else we do in Bickington
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Bickington
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Bickington questions
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TQ12 postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
