Bath resealing in Wigmore, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Wigmore questions
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you cover the entire of Luton?
We work UK-wide, so Wigmore is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Wigmore, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When to call us in Wigmore
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
