When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Bath resealing in Poughill, 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. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and black spots in the silicone.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

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
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Poughill: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
When to call us in Poughill
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- How to care for the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
