  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath

How to compare quotes

Bath resealing at your home in Tiln

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Tiln. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Tiln: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Nottinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
