FAQs for Broad Ford

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How much does bath resealing cost in Broad Ford?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Are there extra charges for Broad Ford?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Broad Ford.

Bath resealing in Broad Ford without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath resealing in Broad Ford?

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Broad Ford and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
