Bath resealing at your home in Princetown
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When to call us in Princetown
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A messy previous reseal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Princetown
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Everything repaired in place

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Common questions in Princetown
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
