Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kenton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Bath resealing at your home in Kenton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Common problems we fix in Kenton
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What affects the price in Kenton
There is no area surcharge for Kenton. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Kenton questions
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Kenton?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EX6 postcode.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
