Bath resealing in Wilmington, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
FAQs for Wilmington
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you work in Wilmington?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Wilmington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath resealing in Wilmington?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Black mould in the sealant

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
