Bath resealing in Puriton, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not 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.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Your questions about bath resealing in Puriton

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TA7 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is resealing worth it?

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, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Puriton clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our pricing.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Do you need bath resealing in Puriton?

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
