Bath resealing in Hawkenbury, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Hawkenbury questions

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Resealing in Hawkenbury: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

What affects the price in Hawkenbury

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you do not 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 will get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Do you need bath resealing in Hawkenbury?

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
