Bath resealing at your home in Vidlin
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and an untidy old seal, we can typically put it right, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

FAQs for Vidlin
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Vidlin is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Signs you need bath resealing in Vidlin
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
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.
If you manage property in Vidlin, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
