Bath resealing near Broadstairs

Bath resealing in Broadstairs, done in place

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, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and discoloured, yellow sealant.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Broadstairs questions

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does resealing take?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What affects the price in Broadstairs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Broadstairs. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
