How we handle bath resealing in Kilby

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. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and discoloured, yellow sealant, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

FAQs for Kilby

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How much does bath resealing cost in Kilby?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Landlord and trade work in Kilby

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why it’s worth resealing in Kilby

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

When to call us in Kilby

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Common reasons people in Kilby contact us are:

  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
