About our bath resealing in Waldridge
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 resealing puts a stop to that. We’re frequently asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and unsealed corners, in basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Waldridge, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Waldridge
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Common reasons people in Waldridge contact us are:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- An untidy old seal
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
