Trusted bath resealing in Donkey Street

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Bath resealing in Donkey Street, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why it’s worth resealing in Donkey Street

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Questions from Donkey Street

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you come to Donkey Street?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Donkey Street and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in Donkey Street and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When to call us in Donkey Street

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
