Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kirkby Overblow. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
