Bath resealing in Kilkenny, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kilkenny as everywhere else we work.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Signs you need bath resealing in Kilkenny

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Resealing in Kilkenny: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our prices page.

What affects the price in Kilkenny

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about bath resealing in Kilkenny

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you come to Kilkenny?

We do. We send a technician to Kilkenny for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
