DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Bath resealing at your home in Woodshutts

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

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.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

When to call us in Woodshutts

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Woodshutts

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Woodshutts, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are

Woodshutts questions

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Woodshutts?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover Woodshutts?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Woodshutts. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
