Bath resealing in Philleigh without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

FAQs for Philleigh

Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Philleigh included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Philleigh
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

What bath resealing costs
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Signs you need bath resealing in Philleigh
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
