Do you need bath resealing in New Romney?

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

About our bath resealing in New Romney

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and water getting behind the bath or tray, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Resealing in New Romney: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

See our pricing.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
