Bath resealing in Writhlington, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and a messy previous reseal.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Writhlington
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Writhlington
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Before booking anyone

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Writhlington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found 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 about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
