Bath resealing near East Kirkby

Bath resealing at your home in East Kirkby

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How to compare quotes

East Kirkby: your questions answered

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.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to East Kirkby. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Most customers in East Kirkby get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
