Why it’s worth resealing in Whaley
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. 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.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
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 will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Whaley
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Your questions about bath resealing in Whaley
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
