Bath resealing in Wilton, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and damp near the bath.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wilton and across Somerset.

Questions from Wilton
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Wilton.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What bath resealing costs
There’s no charge for travel to Wilton. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
