Bath resealing in Metcombe without replacing anything
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

DIY kit or professional 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
