About our bath resealing in Kippington

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Kippington

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How long does a reseal take?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

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.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How much does bath resealing cost in Kippington?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Landlord and trade work in Kippington

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Kippington 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.
