Kettle Corner questions
Are there extra charges for Kettle Corner?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
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.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Bath resealing in Kettle Corner, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes around two hours.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we cannot put right

- Hidden water damage

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
