- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
About our bath resealing in Dowlish Ford
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Dowlish Ford: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you cover Dowlish Ford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Dowlish Ford and the rest of Somerset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Signs you need bath resealing in Dowlish Ford
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
Comparing quotes

- How soon you can use it again

- Whether a trained technician does the job
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
