Bath resealing in Wingate without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed quote from your photos, then we come to you.
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing in Wingate without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

FAQs for Wingate
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Why it’s worth resealing in Wingate
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area

What affects the price in Wingate
There is no area surcharge for Wingate. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure 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, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
