The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Bath resealing in Whittle-le-Woods without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No extra charge for your area

FAQs for Whittle-le-Woods
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How much does bath resealing cost in Whittle-le-Woods?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
