About our bath resealing in Compton
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. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What we’re called out for in Compton
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone

Compton: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you come to Compton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Compton and the rest of Plymouth. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
