How we handle bath resealing in Whitehouse
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 typically the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry

Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Whitehouse.
Do the materials smell?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Resealing in Whitehouse: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Work done at your home or business
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Common problems we fix in Whitehouse
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
