Bath resealing in Knighton, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicester.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Do you need bath resealing in Knighton?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Common reasons people in Knighton contact us include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why it’s worth resealing in Knighton
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Questions from Knighton
How much does bath resealing cost in Knighton?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover the entire of Leicester?
Everywhere in the UK, Knighton included. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
