Wheatcroft questions
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you come to Wheatcroft?

When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How much does bath resealing cost in Wheatcroft?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE4 postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

What we are called out for in Wheatcroft
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
