- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
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.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Common questions in Kirn
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you come to Kirn?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Kirn from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirn
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Kirn
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, 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, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit

- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
