How we handle bath resealing in Pilton
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before booking
- Work done at your home or business
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Pilton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pilton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Pilton
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Pilton: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 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, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Pilton included. Travel is included in the price.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run 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’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
