Bath resealing in Groombridge without replacing anything

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. If you’re dealing with gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Groombridge

For anyone letting property in or around Groombridge, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Groombridge

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Groombridge

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Why it’s worth resealing in Groombridge

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Groombridge. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
