About our bath resealing in New Kyo
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we’re called out for in New Kyo
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended

What else we do in New Kyo
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
