DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Why it’s worth resealing in Pilton
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
FAQs for Pilton
How much does bath resealing cost in Pilton?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Rutland, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
