Advice
How we handle bath resealing in Waterhouses
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, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
If you are in Waterhouses and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

FAQs for Waterhouses
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Waterhouses and the rest of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Resealing in Waterhouses: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

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. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
