Bath resealing in Wood Lanes without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Wood Lanes
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

The process
Your technician turns 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 we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What else we do in Wood Lanes
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Landlord and trade work in Wood Lanes
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Wood Lanes get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
