When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

About our bath resealing in Tuckton
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We are often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why it’s worth resealing in Tuckton
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlord and trade work in Tuckton
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.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Tuckton questions
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Common problems we fix in Tuckton
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
