Bath resealing in West Lilling without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and damp near the bath, we can help, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

West Lilling questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long before I can shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you need bath resealing in West Lilling?
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
Most customers in West Lilling get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
