Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Failand, Bristol

- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal
Bath resealing in Failand without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Failand questions
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
