Bath resealing in Kirtling without replacing anything
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most often call us about damp near the bath and an untidy old seal.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Kirtling questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work in Kirtling?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kirtling. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much does bath resealing cost in Kirtling?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Do you need bath resealing in Kirtling?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
- Mould you can’t clean out
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
