Bath resealing in Tarpots without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, 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.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Landlord and trade work in Tarpots
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Signs you need bath resealing in Tarpots
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
