Bath resealing in Horsey without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed quote from your pictures, then book a visit.
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
About our bath resealing in Horsey
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and silicone coming away from the tiles, in wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Horsey and across Somerset.

Advice
Do you need bath resealing in Horsey?
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:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
- An untidy old seal
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise 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.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
