Bath resealing in Winford, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and damp near the bath, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Winford questions
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Winford included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
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.
Do you need bath resealing in Winford?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
