Advice
How we handle bath resealing in Wothorpe
A good reseal is all about preparation: 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. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people contact us are damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Baths

What else we do in Wothorpe
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Fixed prices from your photos
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything
See our full price list.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Wothorpe, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common problems we fix in Wothorpe
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
