Bath resealing in Whitlock's End without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We are often asked to fix gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Signs you need bath resealing in Whitlock's End
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath

Whitlock's End: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Whitlock's End is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Whitlock's End
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Whitlock's End, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
