Bath Resealing for Painswick homes
Our technicians come to Painswick for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Bath resealing in Painswick, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Resealing in Painswick: why it matters
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Signs you need bath resealing in Painswick
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Painswick contact us are:
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled 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
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Painswick questions
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What affects the price in Painswick
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
