Bath resealing for Bexleyheath homes

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

How we handle bath resealing in Bexleyheath

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bexleyheath, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Bexleyheath

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
