About our bath resealing in Horton Kirby
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and gaps by the taps.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Horton Kirby
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How much does bath resealing cost in Horton Kirby?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Horton Kirby

The most common problems we are called about are:
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What to look for in a quote

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
