Bath resealing for Kencot homes

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

Our hiring checklist

Bath resealing at your home in Kencot

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We are frequently asked to fix gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Questions from Kencot

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?

The entire UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kencot

If you manage property in Kencot, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Why it’s worth resealing in Kencot

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
