Bath resealing at your home in Woolwell
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Woolwell as everywhere else we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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, so the joint is at its widest.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we price bath resealing
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

FAQs for Woolwell
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Woolwell. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we’re called out for in Woolwell
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
