Bath resealing in Kenley

Bath resealing at your home in Kenley

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and silicone smeared on tiles, on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Kenley

Do the materials smell?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you cover Kenley?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kenley and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Most clients in Kenley get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Kenley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Do you need bath resealing in Kenley?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
