Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Steart, Somerset
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Steart, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- A messy previous reseal
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
How we handle bath resealing in Steart
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Steart questions
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Why it’s worth resealing in Steart
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How we price bath resealing
There’s no area surcharge for Steart. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
