About our bath resealing in Wattston
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Do you need bath resealing in Wattston?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to look after the finish
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Wattston, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
