About our bath resealing in The Knap
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for The Knap. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No extra charge for your area
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we’re called out for in The Knap
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in The Knap
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Questions from The Knap
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work in The Knap?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to The Knap from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
