Bath resealing in Kirkinner

Bath resealing in Kirkinner, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Kirkinner

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Kirkinner

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Kirkinner customers choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common problems we fix in Kirkinner

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
