Bath resealing near Eynsford

How we handle bath resealing in Eynsford

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the seal and black mould in the sealant.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Eynsford

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Questions from Eynsford

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Eynsford and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Eynsford

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

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
