About our bath resealing in Witherwack
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Witherwack
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Air the room after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Resealing in Witherwack: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Everything repaired in place
See our prices page.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
