How we handle bath resealing in Welby
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about unsealed corners and a messy previous reseal.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Resealing in Welby: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Welby customers choose us
- No extra charge for your area
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Work done at your home or business

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Your questions about bath resealing in Welby
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Welby?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Welby

What affects the price in Welby
We charge the same across the UK, including Welby. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Welby
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
