How we price bath resealing

- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Rilla Mill, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Bath resealing at your home in Rilla Mill
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and damp near the bath, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What else we do in Rilla Mill
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Rilla Mill: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Rilla Mill.
Do you work in Rilla Mill?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rilla Mill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 normally cheaper.
