About our bath resealing in Wimbish Green
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Wimbish Green. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- 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
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you need bath resealing in Wimbish Green?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wimbish Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about bath resealing in Wimbish Green
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Wimbish Green?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Wimbish Green?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
