About our bath resealing in Woolgarston
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect 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 wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and gaps by the taps.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Woolgarston questions
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How much does bath resealing cost in Woolgarston?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
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.
What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
If you’re in Woolgarston and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woolgarston use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Resealing in Woolgarston: why it matters
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Woolgarston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
