Bath Resealing in Limekilns
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Limekilns, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
Bath resealing in Limekilns without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need bath resealing in Limekilns?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Limekilns
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Your questions about bath resealing in Limekilns
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Limekilns?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Resealing in Limekilns: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Limekilns, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
