My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • 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 will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Do you need bath resealing in Kilnsey?

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

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

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
