How we handle bath resealing in Wilcove
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. 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’re paying for.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, 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.
Do you need bath resealing in Wilcove?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Wilcove contact us include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty

- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Common questions in Wilcove
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL11 postcode.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Wilcove
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
