How we handle bath resealing in Bilsthorpe
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and missing sealant behind the taps, we can typically put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bilsthorpe and across Nottinghamshire.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Bilsthorpe, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, 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 cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Bilsthorpe
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Look out for these signs:
- A messy previous reseal
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
