How we handle bath resealing in Blackdown
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Signs you need bath resealing in Blackdown
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Blackdown questions
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are there extra charges for Blackdown?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
