Bath resealing near Elham

About our bath resealing in Elham

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about gaps in the seal and mould you can’t clean out.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Common problems we fix in Elham

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Common reasons people in Elham contact us are:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

  • A fixed quote before booking

Take a look at our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

What a repair can’t fix

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
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Elham

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
