FAQs for Mill End
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What affects the price in Mill End
There’s no charge for travel to Mill End. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Mill End
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mill End use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Mill End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- No need to remove anything
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
