Bath resealing for Bidborough homes

About our bath resealing in Bidborough

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about gaps by the taps and stained silicone.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  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
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bidborough, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Why it’s worth resealing in Bidborough

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bidborough. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Questions from Bidborough

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bidborough?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
