Bath Resealing in Tovil
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for householders, landlords and businesses in Tovil. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle bath resealing in Tovil
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and stained silicone, we can generally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Tovil
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Tovil. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Tovil
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Landlord and trade work in Tovil
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Questions from Tovil
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
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.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
