Bath resealing in Wixams, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wixams
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bedford Borough and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why it’s worth resealing in Wixams
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Wixams
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wixams. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your MK42 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
