Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Common questions in Kelstedge
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
What we are called out for in Kelstedge
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal
- Black spots in the silicone
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Kelstedge. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
