How we handle bath resealing in Milber
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- 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.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Milber
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Questions from Milber
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Milber?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

- A flexing bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
