Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ruscombe, Wokingham
Bath resealing in Ruscombe without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
- Stained silicone
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath resealing at your home in Ruscombe
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Why it’s worth resealing in Ruscombe
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ruscombe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted

FAQs for Ruscombe
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Ruscombe.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Ruscombe and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
