Bath resealing in Kensworth, done in place
All of the old sealant is cut out, 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 regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Resealing in Kensworth: why it matters
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Common problems we fix in Kensworth
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Common questions in Kensworth
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
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.
Do you cover the entire of Central Bedfordshire?
All of Central Bedfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Kensworth. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
