Do you need bath resealing in Woodthorpe?
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How we handle bath resealing in Woodthorpe
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We are often asked to fix an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty, in basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Woodthorpe questions
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you come to Woodthorpe?
We do. We send a technician to Woodthorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
