Bath resealing in Wick, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and mould you can’t clean out, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Wick

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF71 postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Wick?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Common problems we fix in Wick

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Take a look at our pricing.

What affects the price in Wick

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
