Bath resealing in Gurnard, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are stained silicone and gaps in the seal.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Isle of Wight and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 typically the cheaper route.
Resealing in Gurnard: why it matters
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Gurnard: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
