Bath resealing in Benenden

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we handle bath resealing in Benenden

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with stained silicone and black mould in the sealant, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Benenden

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Questions from Benenden

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are there extra charges for Benenden?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos 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 price without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
