Bath resealing in Egerton without replacing anything

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. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and stained silicone, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Egerton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Egerton

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you come to Egerton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Egerton and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Egerton

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Egerton clients choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Egerton

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
