Bath resealing at your home in The Willows
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and damp near the bath.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The Willows: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I book?

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
If you’re in The Willows and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Common problems we fix in The Willows
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Landlords, agents and businesses in The Willows
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
