Bath resealing in West Knighton without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How it works
On the day itself, there is 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 around two hours, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What bath resealing costs
There’s no charge for travel to West Knighton. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
West Knighton questions
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work in West Knighton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to West Knighton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
