Bath resealing in Knox Bridge without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix stained silicone and gaps by the taps, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Knox Bridge, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Knox Bridge

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Knox Bridge?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What we are called out for in Knox Bridge

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
