Bath resealing in Highbridge, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow around two hours.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- 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, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Highbridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Common questions in Highbridge
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Highbridge and the rest of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
