About our bath resealing in Whitchurch Hill
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. 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.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Whitchurch Hill
Do you come to Whitchurch Hill?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Whitchurch Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
When to call us in Whitchurch Hill
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
