About our bath resealing in Killerby

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can normally put it right, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Common problems we fix in Killerby

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

How to compare quotes

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Killerby. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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.

Killerby questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

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

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Killerby included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
