Bath resealing in Bicton, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Bicton questions
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are there extra charges for Bicton?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you come to Bicton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bicton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What we are called out for in Bicton
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal

What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Bicton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
