Bath resealing in Kettleshulme without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and discoloured, yellow sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Advice
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Kettleshulme
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Signs you need bath resealing in Kettleshulme
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Kettleshulme. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Kettleshulme get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
