Bath resealing in Kingskettle

How we handle bath resealing in Kingskettle

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s unsealed corners and damp near the bath, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Kingskettle clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our prices page.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  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, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Kingskettle

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Kingskettle. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Kingskettle, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Common questions in Kingskettle

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
