How we handle bath resealing in Willington
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Willington
We do not charge extra for travel to Willington. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Willington: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you come to Willington?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Willington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Run 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. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely.
