Common questions in Wolstenholme
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Signs you need bath resealing in Wolstenholme
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wolstenholme use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Resealing in Wolstenholme: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
