What we do, step by step

- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare

- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

About our bath resealing in Postcombe
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can usually put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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 where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
FAQs for Postcombe
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you cover Postcombe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Postcombe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
