How we handle bath resealing in Wall Nook
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Your questions about bath resealing in Wall Nook
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Are there extra charges for Wall Nook?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What we are called out for in Wall Nook
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- An untidy old seal
