Bath resealing in Whitesmith, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Whitesmith
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, typically around a day.
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitesmith
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitesmith use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Whitesmith, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What else we do in Whitesmith
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Whitesmith. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before you book

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
