How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- 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, taps included.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
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. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
FAQs for Symonds Yat West
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Symonds Yat West?
We do. We send a technician to Symonds Yat West for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
