Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in The Pound, Gloucestershire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in The Pound, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Bath resealing in The Pound, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can normally put it right, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in The Pound as everywhere else we work.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Questions from The Pound
How do I get a price for bath resealing in The Pound?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

- Basins & vanity units
