Bath resealing for Ilmington homes

Bath resealing in Ilmington without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Your questions about bath resealing in Ilmington

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ilmington

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Ilmington

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Warwickshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Ilmington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CV36 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
