Bath resealing in Erriottwood without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and stained silicone, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Resealing in Erriottwood: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Erriottwood

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Erriottwood

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

  • Hidden water damage

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Erriottwood

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
