Bath resealing in Whitehouse Common without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitehouse Common
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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 apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Whitehouse Common questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Whitehouse Common?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
