When to call us in Whimple
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in Whimple contact us are:
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended

Bath resealing in Whimple without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and a messy previous reseal, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Whimple
Are there extra charges for Whimple?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Whimple, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
