Local bath resealing for Kirby Hill: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.

- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
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 does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath resealing at your home in Kirby Hill
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are mould you can’t clean out and sealant that’s split or lifting.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Kirby Hill. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Kirby Hill questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How much does bath resealing cost in Kirby Hill?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

The process
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 about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
