Bath resealing in East Street, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in East Street as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

For landlords and businesses

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

If you manage property in East Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to East Street. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Materials we work on in East Street

FAQs for East Street

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Which areas do you work in?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Common problems we fix in East Street

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
