Bath resealing for Kingston homes

About our bath resealing in Kingston

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Kingston questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Kingston

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

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
