About our bath resealing in Kilmington
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Kilmington
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Landlord and trade work in Kilmington
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
