How we handle bath resealing in Kinsbourne Green

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Kinsbourne Green

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you cover Kinsbourne Green?

We do. We send a technician to Kinsbourne Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you need bath resealing in Kinsbourne Green?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Kinsbourne Green, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Resealing in Kinsbourne Green: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
