Trusted bath resealing in Kirkstead

Bath resealing at your home in Kirkstead

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and discoloured, yellow sealant.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kirkstead and across Lincolnshire.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Kirkstead

Do you come to Kirkstead?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Kirkstead from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Kirkstead

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Kirkstead

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Comparing quotes

  • How to care for the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Why it’s worth resealing in Kirkstead

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
