About our bath resealing in Buckfast
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and stained silicone, we can help, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- 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, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Buckfast
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A fixed quote before you book
- One visit for most repairs
Read our prices page.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
