Fixed-price bath resealing in Bilsham and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Bath resealing in Bilsham, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: 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. Our technicians work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and an untidy old seal.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bilsham
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bilsham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bilsham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BN18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Your questions about bath resealing in Bilsham
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
