Resealing in Carrick Knowe: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Carrick Knowe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carrick Knowe
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Carrick Knowe. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Do you need bath resealing in Carrick Knowe?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
