Bath Resealing for Walsworth homes
We travel to Walsworth for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath resealing in Walsworth without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Walsworth
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Walsworth and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover Walsworth?

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price bath resealing
We don’t charge extra for travel to Walsworth. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Signs you need bath resealing in Walsworth
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
