  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

How we handle bath resealing in Kingswells

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and damp near the bath, across basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kingswells as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Kingswells

There’s no charge for travel to Kingswells. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Signs you need bath resealing in Kingswells

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
