How we handle bath resealing in Tickenham
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We are frequently asked to fix gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tickenham as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Tickenham
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you cover the whole of North Somerset?
Everywhere in the UK, Tickenham included. Travel is included in the price.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Tickenham
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Signs you need bath resealing in Tickenham
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
