Trusted bath resealing in Kittle

Bath resealing at your home in Kittle

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and leaks at the edges, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Kittle

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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When to call us in Kittle

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Kittle. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
