  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

About our bath resealing in Killen

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Killen. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Killen: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is my repair covered?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

Do you come to Killen?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Killen. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Killen?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IV9 postcode.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.
