Bath Resealing for Bristol homes
We travel to Bristol for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant that has split or peeled
- Messy, uneven old sealant
- Yellowed or stained mastic
Bath resealing in Bristol without replacing anything
We seal baths while they’re full of water, so the joint doesn’t tear when the bath is next used. All the old mastic comes out first, because new silicone won’t bond to old. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that has split or peeled and gaps letting water behind the bath.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bristol. Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it 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.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Signs you need bath resealing in Bristol
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled. Eventually it splits, lifts or goes black.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps letting water behind the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
- Yellowed or stained mastic
- Sealant that has split or peeled

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
