Bath resealing in Bishop's Cleeve, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Bishop's Cleeve
Do you work in Bishop's Cleeve?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bishop's Cleeve. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
When to call us in Bishop's Cleeve
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Bishop's Cleeve, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bishop's Cleeve, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
