Bath resealing at your home in Hither Green

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and damp near the bath.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Hither Green

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do I have to be there?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
