Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Brislington, Bristol
Bath resealing in Brislington without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, then we come to you.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our bath resealing in Brislington
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with mould you can’t clean out and silicone smeared on tiles, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Brislington and across Bristol.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What affects the price in Brislington
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Brislington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Questions from Brislington
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Bristol.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you need bath resealing in Brislington?
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Unsealed corners
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
