Bath resealing at your home in Taunton
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What else we do in Taunton
Why it’s worth resealing in Taunton
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it
- A fixed quote before booking

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Signs you need bath resealing in Taunton
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Taunton questions
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you cover the whole of Somerset?
The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Repairs by material

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
