Bath resealing at your home in Down St Mary
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are often asked to fix black mould in the sealant and discoloured, yellow sealant, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Down St Mary
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Signs you need bath resealing in Down St Mary
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Look out for these signs:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

- How changes to the job are handled
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
