How we handle bath resealing in Wootton Green
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wootton Green as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Wootton Green
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
How much does bath resealing cost in Wootton Green?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Resealing in Wootton Green: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
