How we handle bath resealing in Kippax

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 work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Kippax

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint 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, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kippax. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Kippax

If you manage property in Kippax, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Kippax

What happens next?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

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.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does a reseal take?

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