Bath resealing at your home in Woodhatch
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Woodhatch: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodhatch use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What bath resealing costs
There’s no area surcharge for Woodhatch. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why it’s worth resealing in Woodhatch
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
