How we handle bath resealing in Witherslack
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and old sealant that looks dirty.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Witherslack. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LA11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Resealing in Witherslack: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Witherslack: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you come to Witherslack?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Witherslack for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Common problems we fix in Witherslack
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps

- Gaps in the seal
What to look for in a quote
