Bath resealing in Watchfield without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant, we can help, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Let steam out after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
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.
Watchfield questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Watchfield?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Watchfield
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we are called out for in Watchfield
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
