Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Bath resealing at your home in Kentmere

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When to call us in Kentmere

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Kentmere questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What happens next?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kentmere use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Resealing in Kentmere: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business

See our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.
