Your questions about bath resealing in Cumwhinton
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we’re called out for in Cumwhinton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

- Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
