Bath Resealing in St Erme
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in St Erme, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
How we handle bath resealing in St Erme
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
