Bath resealing in Kippford without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about stained silicone and leaks at the edges.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Why it’s worth resealing in Kippford
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Kippford customers choose us
- One visit for most repairs
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Your questions about bath resealing in Kippford
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
