Bathroom Resealing in Puckaster
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Puckaster? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Bathroom resealing in Puckaster
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We’re often asked to deal with black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and failed sealant on the screen profile, across baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Being in a small place like Puckaster makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What affects the quote in Puckaster
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why act early in Puckaster
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. A new bead often brings the whole room back. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. Older cottages and farmhouses around Puckaster can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Puckaster
Puckaster is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Niton Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St. John the Baptist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Puckaster needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
More services for Puckaster
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
