Bath resealing in Watchgate without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and mould you can’t clean out, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Signs you need bath resealing in Watchgate
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Watchgate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit

- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LA8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Questions from Watchgate
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work in Watchgate?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Watchgate from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
