Why it’s worth resealing in Waterford
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Bath resealing at your home in Waterford
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Waterford and across Hertfordshire.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SG14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Waterford. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
FAQs for Waterford
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How much does bath resealing cost in Waterford?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we’re called out for in Waterford
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
