How we handle bath resealing in Lilliesleaf
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth resealing in Lilliesleaf
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TD6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Lilliesleaf: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Lilliesleaf included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
