Whatfield questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Whatfield is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do you work in Whatfield?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Whatfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Signs you need bath resealing in Whatfield
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Landlord and trade work in Whatfield
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
