Bath resealing in Kingston, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we are called out for in Kingston

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for Kingston

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

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

How long does a reseal take?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingston

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Kingston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why it’s worth resealing in Kingston

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
