Trusted bath resealing in Kames

How we handle bath resealing in Kames

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Do you need bath resealing in Kames?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on 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.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Kames, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Kames. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Kames: your questions answered

Do you cover Kames?

We do. We send a technician to Kames for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

When can you do it?
