Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hewish, Somerset
We travel to Hewish for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Bath resealing in Hewish without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Hewish
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
What your quote should include

- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What else we do in Hewish
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Hewish: your questions answered
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
How long will it take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of Somerset?
Everywhere in the UK, Hewish included. Travel is included in the price.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
