Bath resealing in Higher Bockhampton without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and black mould in the sealant, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What affects the price in Higher Bockhampton
There’s no area surcharge for Higher Bockhampton. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Higher Bockhampton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Bockhampton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
When to call us in Higher Bockhampton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Higher Bockhampton questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
