Bath resealing across Kirby Hill and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Bath resealing in Kirby Hill, done in place
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and unsealed corners, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry

Common questions in Kirby Hill
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
