Bath resealing in Kettlewell without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kettlewell
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Signs you need bath resealing in Kettlewell
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
Your questions about bath resealing in Kettlewell
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.
Do you work in Kettlewell?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kettlewell. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.
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.
What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Why it’s worth resealing in Kettlewell
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
