Bath Resealing in Winchester
We travel to Winchester for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
How we handle bath resealing in Winchester
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the sealant and stained silicone.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How we price bath resealing
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Winchester get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Do you need bath resealing in Winchester?
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Comparing quotes
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
