How we handle bath resealing in Old Whittington
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Old Whittington as everywhere else we work.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone

What bath resealing costs
There’s no charge for travel to Old Whittington. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S41 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.
- 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.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about bath resealing in Old Whittington
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Old Whittington is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
