Bath Resealing in Illey
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Illey, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Mould you cannot clean out

- Missing sealant behind the taps
Landlord and trade work in Illey
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
Bath resealing in Illey without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Illey. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Resealing in Illey: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Illey: your questions answered
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Dudley. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
When to call us in Illey
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps in the seal
Comparing quotes
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
