- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Bath resealing in Waterhales without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Waterhales
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Waterhales
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
