Trusted bath resealing in Dymchurch

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath resealing in Dymchurch without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and stained silicone, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath resealing in Dymchurch?

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dymchurch

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dymchurch as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Dymchurch questions

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
