How we handle bath resealing in Kingscott
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Kingscott questions
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Kingscott
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
