Bath Resealing for Bilting homes
Bath resealing across Bilting and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath resealing in Bilting without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

FAQs for Bilting
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bilting
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bilting. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
