About our bath resealing in Kingston by Sea

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Kingston by Sea

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
