How we handle bath resealing in Little Whelnetham
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Little Whelnetham. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Why it’s worth resealing in Little Whelnetham
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Little Whelnetham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Questions from Little Whelnetham
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
