Bath Resealing for Kirkby la Thorpe homes
Bath resealing across Kirkby la Thorpe and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
How we handle bath resealing in Kirkby la Thorpe
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Kirkby la Thorpe
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Kirkby la Thorpe?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkby la Thorpe
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
