Bath Resealing for Knipton homes
We travel to Knipton for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
How we handle bath resealing in Knipton
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and discoloured, yellow sealant.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Knipton: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Knipton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. 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 will get a fixed figure.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Knipton, and we will reply with a fixed price.
