- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Kirkby get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Bath resealing at your home in Kirkby
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can normally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Kirkby: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles

Materials we work on in Kirkby
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
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.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in 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.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need bath resealing in Kirkby?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
