Bath resealing at your home in Minehead
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Minehead
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
For a price in Minehead, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Your questions about bath resealing in Minehead
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Minehead?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Resealing in Minehead: why it matters
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
