FAQs for Kibblesworth
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How we handle bath resealing in Kibblesworth
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Kibblesworth and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. 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.
Why book with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we are called out for in Kibblesworth
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black mould in the sealant

What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
