Bath resealing in Little Green without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and silicone coming away from the tiles.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Signs you need bath resealing in Little Green
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Little Green
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you cover the entire of Somerset?
All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
