How we handle bath resealing in Widdington
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and silicone smeared on tiles, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it 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
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

FAQs for Widdington
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
When to call us in Widdington
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Widdington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
