Choosing a repair company

Bath resealing at your home in Chiddingstone Causeway

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s damp near the bath and missing sealant behind the taps, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Landlord and trade work in Chiddingstone Causeway

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

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

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What affects the price in Chiddingstone Causeway

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
