Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Watcombe. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath resealing in Watcombe, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
What we are called out for in Watcombe
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Watcombe contact us are:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Resealing in Watcombe: why it matters

What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Questions from Watcombe
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
