Bath resealing for Little Wakering homes

Bath resealing in Little Wakering, done in place

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. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Little Wakering

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any 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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Little Wakering. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
