Bath resealing in Kirby Knowle

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Bath resealing in Kirby Knowle without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why it’s worth resealing in Kirby Knowle

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Kirby Knowle: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
