Resealing in Whitehawk: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BN2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Whitehawk
Do you need bath resealing in Whitehawk?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Stained silicone
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Whitehawk questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
