How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How do I book?

Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Signs you need bath resealing in Woodstone Village
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

- Mould you can’t clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

What bath resealing costs
There is no area surcharge for Woodstone Village. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Woodstone Village get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why it’s worth resealing in Woodstone Village
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
