Bath resealing in Kenton

About our bath resealing in Kenton

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. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and an untidy old seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Kenton

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need bath resealing in Kenton

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Why it’s worth resealing in Kenton

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kenton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Kenton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Kenton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
