Bath resealing in Millthorpe, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can normally put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Millthorpe
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Millthorpe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Millthorpe. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
