If you are dealing with stained silicone and a messy previous reseal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Why it’s worth resealing in Illingworth
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
There’s no charge for travel to Illingworth. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Illingworth: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work in Illingworth?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Illingworth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Do you need bath resealing in Illingworth?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Illingworth as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
