Bath resealing for Kingsmead homes

FAQs for Kingsmead

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Bath resealing at your home in Kingsmead

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can typically put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms alike.

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Do you need bath resealing in Kingsmead?

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Most clients in Kingsmead get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
