Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Widcombe, Bath and North East Somerset
We travel to Widcombe for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.

- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Bath resealing in Widcombe, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most often call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- 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, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Widcombe
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Widcombe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One visit for most repairs

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Widcombe: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Bath and North East Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
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
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Widcombe
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
