Woodthorpe questions
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Bath resealing in Woodthorpe without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and an untidy old seal, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Woodthorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
