Flaxpool questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Flaxpool?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Flaxpool and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Flaxpool is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Bath resealing in Flaxpool without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are often asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we are called out for in Flaxpool
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Flaxpool. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
