If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and unsealed corners, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Goodnestone

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Can tenants book a repair?

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.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Goodnestone, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
