How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Bath resealing in Lower Milton, done in place
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 old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Signs you need bath resealing in Lower Milton
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
FAQs for Lower Milton
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are there extra charges for Lower Milton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
