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

About our bath resealing in Knowle

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Knowle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are

Work for landlords and builders

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knowle as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Knowle get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Knowle and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
