About our bath resealing in Staple Fitzpaine
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and damp near the bath.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Staple Fitzpaine and across Somerset.

Why it’s worth resealing in Staple Fitzpaine
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Questions from Staple Fitzpaine
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Staple Fitzpaine.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

- 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.
