Bath resealing at your home in Whinney Banks
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and gaps by the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Whinney Banks
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whinney Banks as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Do you need bath resealing in Whinney Banks?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damp near the bath
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. 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.
