Bath resealing at your home in Knave-Go-By

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Knave-Go-By: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

How long does resealing take?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long before I can shower?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in Knave-Go-By

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
