Resealing in Milehill: why it matters
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we handle bath resealing in Milehill
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, 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.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Common problems we fix in Milehill
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Milehill
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
