- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Bath resealing in Waterhouses without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and black mould in the sealant, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Waterhouses as everywhere else we work.

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
