How we handle bath resealing in Wimbish
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and black mould in the sealant.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Questions from Wimbish
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
