Bath Resealing for Milstead homes
We travel to Milstead for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Stained silicone
Bath resealing in Milstead, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Milstead questions
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Signs you need bath resealing in Milstead
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Why it’s worth resealing in Milstead
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
