Clients generally contact us about:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Bath resealing in Buckland St Mary without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Resealing in Buckland St Mary: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Buckland St Mary: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Buckland St Mary. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
