In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

About our bath resealing in Kelton

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Kelton

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Kelton. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Resealing in Kelton: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Landlord and trade work in Kelton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kelton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Questions from Kelton

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you work in Kelton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kelton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Are there extra charges for Kelton?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
