About our bath resealing in Somerford
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most often call us about black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Somerford questions
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When to call us in Somerford
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Somerford
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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.

What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Somerford, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
