Need bath resealing in Wellow?

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we handle bath resealing in Wellow

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Wellow questions

Are there extra charges for Wellow?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you work in Wellow?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wellow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Wellow?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Signs you need bath resealing in Wellow

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our pricing.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
