Bath Resealing in Bilberry
Bath resealing across Bilberry and nearby, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing at your home in Bilberry
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Bilberry
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Do you need bath resealing in Bilberry?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
