Bath resealing in Winterbourne without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What affects the price in Winterbourne
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Winterbourne questions
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Are there extra charges for Winterbourne?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
