How we handle bath resealing in Kingsthorpe
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kingsthorpe and across Northamptonshire.

How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Kingsthorpe. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Kingsthorpe and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Kingsthorpe
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Kingsthorpe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Kingsthorpe: your questions answered
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How much does bath resealing cost in Kingsthorpe?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
