Bath resealing in Illston on the Hill without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Illston on the Hill
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you come to Illston on the Hill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Illston on the Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
