Bath resealing in Capel St Mary, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.

What we are called out for in Capel St Mary
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
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.

What else we do in Capel St Mary
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Capel St Mary. What changes the price is:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos 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.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
