Bath resealing at your home in Hildenborough

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and a messy previous reseal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise 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.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Hildenborough

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Do you cover Hildenborough?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hildenborough. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

When to call us in Hildenborough

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
