Bath resealing at your home in Hounsley Batch
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We are often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and an untidy old seal, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price bath resealing
We do not charge extra for travel to Hounsley Batch. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Hounsley Batch
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?
All of Bath and North East Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Signs you need bath resealing in Hounsley Batch
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:

- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
