Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Catsgore, Somerset
We travel to Catsgore for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
About our bath resealing in Catsgore
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix unsealed corners and a messy previous reseal, across wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any 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, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Your questions about bath resealing in Catsgore
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
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 before the end of a tenancy.
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you come to Catsgore?
We do. We send a technician to Catsgore for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Common problems we fix in Catsgore
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we price bath resealing
There’s no area surcharge for Catsgore. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
