Need bath resealing in Millbank?

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Bath resealing in Millbank without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and stained silicone, we can help.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CT3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why it’s worth resealing in Millbank

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Millbank questions

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How much does bath resealing cost in Millbank?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT3 postcode.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we work on in Millbank

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
