About our bath resealing in East Kyo
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Resealing in East Kyo: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Questions from East Kyo
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you come to East Kyo?
We do. Repair technicians travel to East Kyo from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
