Bath resealing at your home in Ab Kettleby
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and black mould in the sealant, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Ab Kettleby: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you come to Ab Kettleby?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ab Kettleby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Ab Kettleby. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material

Why it’s worth resealing in Ab Kettleby
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One-year guarantee on every repair
See our prices page.
Signs you need bath resealing in Ab Kettleby
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
