How we handle bath resealing in Wicklane
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and leaks at the edges, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Wicklane questions
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover Wicklane?
We do. We send a technician to Wicklane for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
