Bath resealing in Kettlestone

Bath resealing in Kettlestone without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Kettlestone

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

FAQs for Kettlestone

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
