Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Everything repaired in place
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kells as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common questions in Kells
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does bath resealing cost in Kells?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CA28 postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Common problems we fix in Kells
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
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.
