- Leaks at the edges
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Bath resealing in Whiting Bay without replacing anything
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Whiting Bay
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you work in Whiting Bay?
We do. Technicians travel to Whiting Bay from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How much does bath resealing cost in Whiting Bay?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works
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, tidy-up included.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
