Bath resealing in Timberscombe without replacing anything
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. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What affects the price in Timberscombe
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we are called out for in Timberscombe
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stained silicone
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Timberscombe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
