Bath resealing for Kingsdown homes

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Kingsdown and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Bath resealing in Kingsdown, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Common problems we fix in Kingsdown

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Resealing in Kingsdown: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our pricing.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean 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.
