Bath resealing in Frenchay without replacing anything
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about stained silicone and damp near the bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Frenchay
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal

What else we do in Frenchay
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Frenchay
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Frenchay
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Frenchay questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Frenchay?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
