Need bath resealing in Flete?

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Bath resealing at your home in Flete

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

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.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Flete

If you manage property in Flete, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Signs you need bath resealing in Flete

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

FAQs for Flete

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

Across the UK, and that includes Flete. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take around two hours.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
