About our bath resealing in Milehouse

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Milehouse questions

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL2 postcode.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you come to Milehouse?

We do. Technicians travel to Milehouse from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

When to call us in Milehouse

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Landlord and trade work in Milehouse

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

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.
