Bath resealing in Waingroves, done in place
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we’re called out for in Waingroves
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Your questions about bath resealing in Waingroves
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long before I can shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Waingroves?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you work in Waingroves?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Waingroves. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waingroves as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Why it’s worth resealing in Waingroves
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
