Bath resealing in Dunbridge

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

How we handle bath resealing in Dunbridge

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and unsealed corners, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

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

Dunbridge questions

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Dunbridge?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Resealing in Dunbridge: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our pricing.

Do you need bath resealing in Dunbridge?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps by the taps

Comparing quotes

  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
