Bath Resealing in Long Whatton
Bath resealing in and around Long Whatton: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing at your home in Long Whatton
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal, in baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common questions in Long Whatton
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Long Whatton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
