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, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and black spots in the silicone, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What affects the price in Washbrook
There’s no charge for travel to Washbrook. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why it’s worth resealing in Washbrook

Landlord and trade work in Washbrook
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Washbrook use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Common questions in Washbrook
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Washbrook.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
