Bath resealing for Keston homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

About our bath resealing in Keston

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

  • Leaks at the edges

10 questions to ask before booking

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Keston

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 is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Keston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Keston, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

FAQs for Keston

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How much does bath resealing cost in Keston?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
