Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Bath resealing in Whimble without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Whimble
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

FAQs for Whimble
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need bath resealing in Whimble?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
