Bath resealing in Kirkby Mallory

What we’re called out for in Kirkby Mallory

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Kirkby Mallory. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

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.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LE9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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 the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
