Bath resealing near Kedington

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Kedington. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kedington, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Bath resealing at your home in Kedington

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s stained silicone and gaps by the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Resealing in Kedington: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Signs you need bath resealing in Kedington

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kedington

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Kedington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

FAQs for Kedington

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
