Bath resealing at your home in Caulcott
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Most clients in Caulcott get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Caulcott. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caulcott use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Caulcott
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Are there extra charges for Caulcott?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
