Bath resealing in Wilde Street, done in place
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. We’re often asked to fix leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Wilde Street
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
- Unsealed corners
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos 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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Wilde Street
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Landlord and trade work in Wilde Street
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP28 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures

Wilde Street: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you cover Wilde Street?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wilde Street for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How much does bath resealing cost in Wilde Street?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP28 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
