Bath resealing in Woolton Hill without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include stained silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Resealing in Woolton Hill: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Woolton Hill: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the whole of West Berkshire?
The entire UK, including all of West Berkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you need bath resealing in Woolton Hill?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Common reasons people in Woolton Hill contact us are:
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Woolton Hill
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Berkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit

- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
