About our bath resealing in Wix
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 are frequently asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal, in wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage

- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Your questions about bath resealing in Wix
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you cover Wix?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wix. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wix.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What we are called out for in Wix
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
