About our bath resealing in Kilmore
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Kilmore and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
