Bath resealing for Boughton Aluph homes

How we handle bath resealing in Boughton Aluph

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a couple of hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Boughton Aluph questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Are you accredited?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Boughton Aluph. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Use 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, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
