About our bath resealing in Wilton Dean
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Common problems we fix in Wilton Dean
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone

Resealing in Wilton Dean: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your pictures

What else we do in Wilton Dean
Common questions in Wilton Dean
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Wilton Dean and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Wilton Dean. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
