What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we are called out for in Bonchester Bridge
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

- Sealant that is split or lifting
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Your questions about bath resealing in Bonchester Bridge
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Are there extra charges for Bonchester Bridge?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Why it’s worth resealing in Bonchester Bridge
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What else we do in Bonchester Bridge
What affects the price in Bonchester Bridge
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TD9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
