Bath resealing in Monkton Wyld, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Questions from Monkton Wyld
Why does mould come back so fast?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Monkton Wyld, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Monkton Wyld. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What to look for in a quote

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
