What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

About our bath resealing in Kiplin

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Kiplin

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

Common problems we fix in Kiplin

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Kiplin: your questions answered

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
