- Gaps in the seal
About our bath resealing in Wherrytown
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wherrytown as everywhere else we work.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Wherrytown

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Wherrytown: your questions answered
How long does silicone take to cure?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairs by material
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, for the same reason.
When to call us in Wherrytown
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Comparing quotes
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
