Bath resealing near Baybridge

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we handle bath resealing in Baybridge

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Baybridge, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Signs you need bath resealing in Baybridge

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
