Bath resealing in St Eval without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty.

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for St Eval. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Common problems we fix in St Eval
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on

Your questions about bath resealing in St Eval
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
