About our bath resealing in Wolsingham
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Wolsingham
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wolsingham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
