The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours. We leave the room clean.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we handle bath resealing in Ilam
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and unsealed corners, on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ilam
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When to call us in Ilam
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal

What bath resealing costs
There is no charge for travel to Ilam. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about bath resealing in Ilam
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
