About our bath resealing in Woodside
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and gaps by the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Woodside as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Woodside
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Woodside?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CR0 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. 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.
What affects the price in Woodside
There’s no area surcharge for Woodside. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
