The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your G82 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Bath resealing at your home in Milton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

Why it’s worth resealing in Milton
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Milton questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
How much does bath resealing cost in Milton?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
