Bath resealing in Fitzhead, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We are frequently asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, 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.

Fitzhead questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Fitzhead.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Fitzhead?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Why it’s worth resealing in Fitzhead
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we are called out for in Fitzhead
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TA4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
