- Silicone smeared on tiles
How we handle bath resealing in Bristol
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Bristol questions
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you work in Bristol?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bristol for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bristol
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Do you need bath resealing in Bristol?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel

How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
