How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How we handle bath resealing in Kirkby Thore

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and stained silicone, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Kirkby Thore

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkby Thore as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Common problems we fix in Kirkby Thore

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
