- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
How we handle bath resealing in Wigginton
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. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
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 the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Questions from Wigginton
Do you work in Wigginton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wigginton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths

- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
