Bath Resealing for Tuckenhay homes
We travel to Tuckenhay for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
About our bath resealing in Tuckenhay
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Tuckenhay, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
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.

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We don’t add 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.

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Tuckenhay: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do you need bath resealing in Tuckenhay?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
