We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Whitford questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Signs you need bath resealing in Whitford
