Bath resealing in Kimblesworth without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and sealant that’s split or lifting, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
When to call us in Kimblesworth
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Kimblesworth questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Kimblesworth, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
