Trusted bath resealing in Hollingbourne

Bath resealing at your home in Hollingbourne

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Hollingbourne and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hollingbourne. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Hollingbourne, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

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

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Questions from Hollingbourne

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do the materials smell?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How much does bath resealing cost in Hollingbourne?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you need bath resealing in Hollingbourne?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
