About our bath resealing in Kentisbury

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and unsealed corners, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kentisbury

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kentisbury use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for Kentisbury. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Why it’s worth resealing in Kentisbury

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Kentisbury clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

FAQs for Kentisbury

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you work in Kentisbury?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kentisbury. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Kentisbury?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
