Why it’s worth resealing in Bishops Lydeard
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bishops Lydeard. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
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.
Advice
When to call us in Bishops Lydeard
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
- Unsealed corners

- How soon you can use it again

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in Bishops Lydeard
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
