Baths

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Charing, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Charing. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Charing customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Questions from Charing

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
