How we handle bath resealing in Knapwell

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and leaks at the edges, we can normally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Most customers in Knapwell get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Knapwell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

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.

Knapwell questions

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, typically around a day.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

When to call us in Knapwell

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
