DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms

What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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’ll reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Why it’s worth resealing in South Kilworth
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
