Bath resealing near Beckhithe

About our bath resealing in Beckhithe

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Beckhithe

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you cover Beckhithe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Beckhithe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Beckhithe

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
