Bath resealing in Roa Island, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What affects the price in Roa Island
We charge the same across the UK, including Roa Island. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Questions from Roa Island
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are there extra charges for Roa Island?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
