Bath resealing near Charlton-in-Dover

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

How we handle bath resealing in Charlton-in-Dover

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Your questions about bath resealing in Charlton-in-Dover

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Charlton-in-Dover and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found 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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
