Bath resealing for Egerton Forstal homes

Bath resealing in Egerton Forstal without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

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

Egerton Forstal questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Egerton Forstal. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Do you need bath resealing in Egerton Forstal?

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Look out for these signs:

  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Resealing in Egerton Forstal: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
