Bath resealing in Kilmaurs, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilmaurs as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Kilmaurs: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
How much does bath resealing cost in Kilmaurs?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Kilmaurs. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
