Bath Resealing for Tilery homes
Our technicians come to Tilery for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
How we handle bath resealing in Tilery
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Tilery: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are there extra charges for Tilery?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
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.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tilery as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Tilery
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
