Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Upper Knowle, Bristol
Bath resealing in and around Upper Knowle: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Bath resealing in Upper Knowle without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What affects the price in Upper Knowle
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms

Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
