Bath resealing at your home in Knowlton
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common problems we fix in Knowlton
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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.
Questions from Knowlton
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you come to Knowlton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Knowlton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Resealing in Knowlton: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What else we do in Knowlton
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What affects the price in Knowlton
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
