Bath resealing in Kelty without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We’re often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, in wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

FAQs for Kelty

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover Kelty?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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 it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Kelty

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

Comparing quotes

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Resealing in Kelty: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
