When to call us in Mill of Mains
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Bath resealing at your home in Mill of Mains
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Mill of Mains. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DD4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Why it’s worth resealing in Mill of Mains
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
