About our bath resealing in Kirkby Stephen
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and silicone smeared on tiles.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Do you need bath resealing in Kirkby Stephen?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Look out for these signs:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners

Kirkby Stephen questions
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
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 I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach

- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before booking
- Nothing taken out or refitted
