Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Bath resealing in Whorlton without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and gaps by the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price

Your questions about bath resealing in Whorlton
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
What affects the price in Whorlton
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DL12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whorlton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
