Bath resealing in Kenny Hill, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Kenny Hill: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Signs you need bath resealing in Kenny Hill

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kenny Hill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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