Common problems we fix in Kinneil

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners

Bath resealing in Kinneil, done in place

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. We are often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and damp near the bath, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Kinneil and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kinneil use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Kinneil: your questions answered

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Kinneil?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EH51 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kinneil. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kinneil, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why it’s worth resealing in Kinneil

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Why Kinneil clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
