Do you need bath resealing in Wilkieston?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Wilkieston questions
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Wilkieston
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A fixed quote before you book
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
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.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
