About our bath resealing in Washpit
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are damp near the bath and stained silicone.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Washpit. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on 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?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Dry the seal after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Washpit use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common questions in Washpit
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
