How we handle bath resealing in Kilnsea
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Riding of Yorkshire.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Kilnsea: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What we’re called out for in Kilnsea
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
