Local bath resealing for Stitchcombe: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Landlord and trade work in Stitchcombe
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we handle bath resealing in Stitchcombe
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and leaks at the edges, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Stitchcombe: your questions answered
Do you cover Stitchcombe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stitchcombe and the rest of Wiltshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Stitchcombe included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Resealing in Stitchcombe: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
