How we handle bath resealing in Great Milton
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and unsealed corners, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What we’re called out for in Great Milton
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Common questions in Great Milton
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Do you cover Great Milton?
We do. We send a technician to Great Milton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What affects the price in Great Milton
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.
