Bath resealing in Clap Hill

Bath resealing at your home in Clap Hill

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and leaks at the edges.

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Clap Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Clap Hill questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

Everywhere in the UK, Clap Hill included. Travel is included in the price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Common problems we fix in Clap Hill

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
