Bath resealing in Kinver

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Bath resealing in Kinver without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

Why it’s worth resealing in Kinver

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Kinver clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Kinver, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Kinver: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What do you need from me?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Kinver?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

When to call us in Kinver

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
