Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
How we handle bath resealing in Kingston
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and damp near the bath, we can typically put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

FAQs for Kingston
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Common problems we fix in Kingston
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
