How we handle bath resealing in Chestfield

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, 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.

Do you need bath resealing in Chestfield?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Chestfield

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Chestfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
