Bath resealing in Wootten Green, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Wootten Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Resealing in Wootten Green: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Questions from Wootten Green
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
