About our bath resealing in Wash Common
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and sealant that’s split or lifting.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Signs you need bath resealing in Wash Common
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Wash Common
There is no charge for travel to Wash Common. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

Common questions in Wash Common
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
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.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
