How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we’re called out for in Well Head
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone

What affects the price in Well Head
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
