Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Bath resealing at your home in Wortham
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone, we can normally put it right, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
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 will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Signs you need bath resealing in Wortham
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wortham
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Wortham
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Wortham is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Wortham?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
