About our bath resealing in Walcot
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why Walcot clients choose us
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Walcot: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Walcot
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
