What happens on the day

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Longfield questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Longfield.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Longfield

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

What affects the price in Longfield

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DA3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath resealing in Longfield

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
