Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Bilton
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Bilton
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bilton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HG1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
