Bath Resealing for Bugle homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Bugle, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

About our bath resealing in Bugle
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Your questions about bath resealing in Bugle
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
