Why it’s worth resealing in Kilnwood Vale

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why Kilnwood Vale customers choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Do you need bath resealing in Kilnwood Vale?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath resealing in Kilnwood Vale

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Kilnwood Vale, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
