Bath resealing in Bishopstrow without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and unsealed corners.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- 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, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What else we do in Bishopstrow
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Resealing in Bishopstrow: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Bishopstrow
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What your bath or shower is made of matters
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Bishopstrow
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Wiltshire.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bishopstrow
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
