Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Warthill
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover Warthill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Warthill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Warthill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
