Bath Resealing for Sorn homes
Bath resealing across Sorn and nearby, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
How we handle bath resealing in Sorn
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Sorn, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Sorn: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover Sorn?
We do. We send a technician to Sorn for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- 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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
