Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
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.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What affects the price in Whitehouse
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Whitehouse questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Whitehouse is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
