Bath resealing near Kilrenny

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 photos.

How we handle bath resealing in Kilrenny

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. Most jobs take a couple of hours. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we’re called out for in Kilrenny

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Resealing in Kilrenny: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

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 give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kilrenny, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Kilrenny

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
