Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
How we handle bath resealing in Fishpond Bottom
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Fishpond Bottom and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we are called out for in Fishpond Bottom
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Stained silicone
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Questions from Fishpond Bottom
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
