Bath resealing in and around Puckaster: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Damp near the bath
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

About our bath resealing in Puckaster
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are often asked to fix leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Puckaster
What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Puckaster. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.

- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
